Internal Design (cont'd)
The expansion slots are also tool-less, using thumbscrews to secure add-on cards in place. Thumbscrews are the simplest, yet the most effective method in securing add-on cards. Each expansion slot cover is lined with holes to allow air to flow past installed cards and passively cool them.The power supply sits on a platform to help ease the stress on the structure of the back of the chassis. Our PowerStream unit is pretty heavy compared to smaller footprint units.
Another feature that Chenbro has implemented in the GB2 is the Integrated Cable Management system, or ICM for short. Composed of about 3/4" of space behind the motherboard tray and two rectangular holes on the tray, the ICM creates hidden areas to stow away the mess of wiring from the power supply. Though not as advanced as the name sounds, the feature does help with systems that have many components to power, and keeps loose wiring from getting caught in the various fans.

Nice case,but I'll wait for a cheap knockoff, or a CM Stacker. That infrared heat graph is a nice effect though.Operandi - Tuesday, December 14, 2004 - link
Looks like a very nice case with horribly loud fans.Purav; For future reviews it would be nice if you would include more information on the fans, make model, RPM, CFM, ect.
